"My cycle in Anderlecht is ending," the defensive midfielder told A Bola. "My dream is to play in Spain.

"This is one of the best leagues in the world and I'm attracted to the country, given I'm already fluent in the language."

Biglia only strengthened the belief that he is now destined for the Spanish capital by revealing his admiration for one of Los Blancos' star players.

"I like Xabi Alonso," the 26-year-old admitted. "For me, he is what gives balance to Real Madrid and Spain. He is a role model."

Biglia, who has been capped six times by his country, joined Anderlecht from Independiente in 2006.

Starting last month and continuing for 10 weeks, Goal.com is publishing exclusive extracts from Luca Caioli's new book, Ronaldo: The Obsession for Perfection. The sixth extract, published on Friday, looks at his display for Man Utd in the 2008 Champions League final against Chelsea in Moscow, including the Portuguese's missed penalty in the shoot-out. Don't miss it!
